Orchard ablaze with daffodils
a mistle thrush signals a sky
sprayed with hundreds of starlings
moving in a changing cloud formation
until a swan opens his wings in my head
and I take a deep breath
my chest fills with the sound of
a flyer as it pulls out to London
smacked dead on the rails
a tawny white-spotted owl
